Eloquent for a teen idol? You decide.

Justin Bieber shared the following thoughts during some of his television interviews:

On his concerts: "I feed off the fans' energy. If they're screaming really loud, I get pumped up and you know, it's really exciting to me."

On his family life: "You know, my parents splitting up, it definitely wasn't - it's not one of the highlights of my life. You know, it's sad, the kid experiences, you know, feeling like they left. It makes you, you know, not feel so good. But now that, you know, being in my position that I now, it's just like, looking back, it's like, I'm so blessed."

On his hits: "Like, I still listen to the radio. But I mean like I used to listen to it, just to hear other people. It's crazy, now I listen to the radio and I hear myself."

On Michael Jackson: "You know, I've definitely studied his stuff and just looking and watching his performances and how he interacts with the crowd and how he, you know, is able to just feed off the energy. It's pretty, it's pretty crazy."

On his autographs: "I practiced my signature since like I was 6. I thought I was going to be a hockey player. So, I was like Justin Bieber, No. 6. I dropped the No. 6."

On his libido: "I sing a lot about girls. But, you know, I'm at that age where I just, I really like girls."

On his future: "I think that making that change within a child artist to being a, you know, an adult artist is a big step. And, you know, not a lot of people can do it. You know, it, it takes a lot of hard work."
